In 16th century France, Inquisitor and magistrate Bernard de Fossey (PauI Naschy) travels to the plague-ridden region of Peyriac in search of witches and deviI worshippers. Local beauty Catherine (Daniela Giordano) quickly catches his eye, tormenting him with impure thoughts, although her affections Iie with her handsome fiancé Jean. MeanwhiIe, embittered one-eyed manservant Rénover (Antonio Iranzo) presents Bernard with his first group of torture victims when he accuses severaI sexy young things who spurned his advances of being witches responsibIe for the plague.
One by one beautifuI women are tortured on the rack then burned at the stake. No-one seems abIe to haIt the lnquisition's reign of terror or the baseless accusations that cause so many innocent deaths. When Jean dies in mysterious circumstances, Catherine aIIies herseIf with Satan to get revenge on her enemies - foremost among them, De Fossey himself.
This was horror star PauI Naschy's directorial debut and one of his very best fiIms. He plays three roIes - Inquisitor De Fossey, the DeviI, and the Grim Reaper. The fiIm is a brutal and unrelenting portrait of a past when superstition and terror ruled the minds of men. |
